Chapter 8. General Settings
Screen Scroll Step Size. Defines the number of pixels the horizontal manual screen
scroll should move for each step.
Paged Scrolling. When set to Yes scrolling vertically on pages that surpass the
screen size will page up/down instead of simply changing lines. This can be
useful on slow displays.
Peak Meter. The peak meter can be configured with a number of parameters.
Peak Release. This determines how fast the bar shrinks when the music becomes
softer. Lower values make the peak meter look smoother. Expressed in scale
units per 10 ms.
Peak Hold Time. Specifies the time after which the peak indicator will reset. For
example, if you set this value to 5 s, the peak indicator displays the loudest
volume value that occurred within the last 5 seconds. Larger values are useful
if you want to find the peak level of a song, which might be of interest when
copying music from the player via the analogue output to some other recording
device.
Clip Hold Time. The number of seconds that the clipping indicator will be visible
after clipping is detected.
Scale. Select whether the peak meter displays linear or logarithmic values. The
human ear perceives loudness on a logarithmic scale. If the Scale setting is
set to Logarithmic (dB) scale, the volume values are scaled logarithmically.
The volume meters of digital audio devices usually are scaled this way. On
the other hand, if you are interested in the power level that is applied to
your headphones you should choose Linear display. This setting cannot
be displayed in units like volts or watts because such units depend on your
headphones.
Minimum and maximum range. These two options define the full value range that
the peak meter displays. Recommended values for the Logarithmic (dB)
setting are -40 dB for minimum and 0 dB for maximum. Recommended values
for Linear display are 0 and 100%. Note that -40 dB is approximately 1%
in linear value, but if you change the minimum setting in linear mode slightly
and then change to the dB scale, there will be a large change. You can use
these values for 'zooming' into the peak meter.
Default Codepage. A codepage describes the way extended characters that are not avail-
able within the ASCII character set are encoded. ID3v1 tags do not have a codepage
encoding contained so Rockbox needs to know what encoding has been used when
generating these tags. This should be "ISO-8859-1" but to support languages out-
side Western Europe most applications use the setting of your operating system
instead. If your operating system uses a different codepage and you are getting
garbled extended characters you should adjust this settings. In most cases sticking
to "ISO-8859-1" would be sufficient.
